Azerbaijan, Baku, Jun.7/ Trend F. Eminli /
Iran presidential candidate Gholam-Ali Haddad-Adel says his foreign policy will place priority on the economic sanctions placed against the country.
He said that the issue cannot be dealt with simply through internal management.
Economic problems are the country's major concern, but we should resolve our problems through elevating the country's status on the international playing field.
Sanctions were in place even before Iran started its nuclear activities, he said.
Since the beginning of the Islamic Revolution, our foreign policy has seen both good and bad days.
